Top SchoolAlex Bussey is a front-end–focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building performant, user-facing web applications from video players to incident-response platforms. Currently at PagerDuty, he’s leading a large-scale migration from Elixir/Backbone to a modern React/TypeScript toolchain while standardizing frontend patterns across legacy codebases. His background includes deep product work at JW Player—contributing UI bug fixes and player features for a widely used embeddable media player—and shipping critical tooling for enterprise incident analysis at Jeli. Alex pairs hands-on CSS and accessibility improvements with architectural thinking around authentication and micro-frontend modernization, and he’s comfortable operating across full-stack boundaries when integrations demand it. Based in Philadelphia, he brings a pragmatic balance of operational reliability and developer ergonomics to high-stakes, customer-facing systems.
